the mean weight of 100 persons is 56 kg. The mean of weight of ales being 58 kg and of females is 48 kg.then find the no. of males?
-
m = number of males
f = number of females
total weight / 100 = 56
total weight = 5600
58m + 48f = 5600
m + f = 100 => 48m + 48f = 4800
58m + 48f = 5600
- (48m + 48f = 4800)
----------------------------
10m = 800
m = 80
m + f = 100
80 + f = 100
f = 20
80 males and 20 females
f = number of females
total weight / 100 = 56
total weight = 5600
58m + 48f = 5600
m + f = 100 => 48m + 48f = 4800
58m + 48f = 5600
- (48m + 48f = 4800)
----------------------------
10m = 800
m = 80
m + f = 100
80 + f = 100
f = 20
80 males and 20 females

The answer is 80 males.....I didn't use an equation, just trial by error
80males x 58kg = 4640
20females x 48kg = 960
4640 + 960 = 5600
5600/100 = 56
80males x 58kg = 4640
20females x 48kg = 960
4640 + 960 = 5600
5600/100 = 56

Reword that and I'll try.
